While it may seem like a very basic gift, there might not be anything your boyfriend's mother wants for Christmas quite as much as a box of decadent chocolates. You could get her an expensive brand with a variety that you know she will love or ask your boyfriend what kind of chocolate she likes the most. Wrap it in pretty wrapping paper and include a heartfelt note to perfect the gift and leave the best impression. Your boyfriend's mother will remember your kindness while enjoying her chocolate.

If you are seriously dating her son and already considered part of the family, a family photo shoot, including you and your boyfriend, is a special and creative Christmas gift for your boyfriend's mother. If you have a photographer friend willing to help you out and a free afternoon to spend with your boyfriend's family, you can help make many special memories that will leave you in good standing with someone who may be your future mother-in-law. This creative gift will stand out in her mind as unique and unexpected, as well as special and timeless.

Treating your boyfriend's mom to a day at the spa is one of the most luxurious Christmas presents you could choose for her. Giving her an excuse to get out of the house and be treated to a relaxing afternoon will help her unwind, feel energized and get a fresh perspective on life, including you and your relationship with her son. Showing that you have put thought into her Christmas present and care about her well-being can express to her that you are a caring, thoughtful woman -- the perfect woman to be dating her son.

Home decor items make a lovely Christmas present for your boyfriend's mother, especially if she is into interior decorating and loves to live in a cozy, welcoming home. Candles with a beautiful scent, artistic photographs that liven up a room and decadent lotions to place in the bathroom will all inspire her creative side and give her something that constantly reminds her of your kindness. Take special care to choose something in her taste that will flow well with the feel of the rest of the house. Your boyfriend's mom will surely be inspired by your beautiful Christmas present.
